Show Notes

Joining me on this episode is Mridu Parikh - the woman behind Life is Organized. Mridu is a productivity coach, business strategist, speaker and trainer. She made it her goal to help individuals get clear on their priorities through effective time management, efficient processes, systems and life-changing habits – to do more in less time.

A big fan of simplicity, Mridu shares about introducing and learning productivity processes and systems, the methods she employs to make sure that these become habits, and how doing these alleviate stress and results in clarity and growth for individuals and teams.

Here are just a few of the things you’ll hear and learn about in this episode:

How she reveres simplicity as the easiest way to introduce a process, and the importance of writing things down (2:19).

Working with other people, how to get them motivated to do a task or
enforce a process into their life and be consistent about it. (6:20).

The concept of the learning curve, and how to speed up this
often-tedious phase through research and by reaching out to people
(8:37).

Her insights on alignment as a product of goals, action plans and
prioritization, how to make these happen through the concept of
‘two-week sprints’ (11:41), and samples to explain how it works
(13:40).

The importance of improving communication and technology, and
intertwining the two to enhance processes for an individual and/or a
team (16:14).

The tool that she’s been using which allows for
transparency and easy collaboration, and the how and why she chose this specific tool
(18:07; 20:01).

We also delved into a blog post she’s written that made her look at
limitations and excuses from a different angle, and reframe these into motivation to
maximize potential (21:44).
